ABSTRACTThe ultra-rapid melting and subsequent resolidification of Embedded Atom Method models of the fcc metals copper and gold are followed using a Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics computer simulation method. Results for the resolidification of an exposed (100) face of copper at room temperature are in good agreement with recent experiments using a picosecond laser. At T = 0.5 Tm, the morphology of the solid/liquid interface is shown to be similar to a Lennard-Jones model. The morphology of the crystal-vapor interface at 92% of Tm shows a significant disordering of the topmost layers. Difficulties with the EAM model for gold are observed. Comparison of the Baskes et al. and Oh and Johnson embedding functions are discussed.

Based on different aromatic dibromides and diamines, using Material Studio software and molecular simulation method, Poly(imino ketone) (PIK), Poly(imino ketone ketone) (PIKK), Poly(imino imino ketone) (PIIK), Poly(imino imino ketone ketone) (PIIKK), Flourene-PIIK and Naphthyl-PIIK, respectively, were designed as six different structures of polymers. And through the method of molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics the single-molecule polymer chain model and the aggregation-state model with three-dimensional periodic boundary conditions would be built. Theoretically, the established model has been verified availably after optimization based on molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics.
